Statera continues to witness our community making thoughtful pivots in the face of a global pandemic and social injustice, using their tools to better the world around them. The intersection where art meets activism is directly mission-aligned for Statera. Both as an organization and a community, we are constantly seeking new ways to amplify marginalized voices and work for equity inside and outside of the arts industry.
We are excited to share a few events from The Journey Theatre Project with you, which begin this weekend! They are hosting a series of conversations surrounding racism in America, as well as a thrilling 28 Hour play reading series. Check it out!
Race and You: Courageous Conversations Public Session
“It's never too late or early to begin the conversation.
Join us for a three part workshop on racism in America. Using creative and reflective activities we take you on a journey to examine yourself, your community and systemic racism. We will also offer tools for how to learn, talk and create actionable solutions to dismantle white supremacy.”
This workshop is ticketed, but you can pay what you wish. Suggested price is $25.00/session.
Proceeds go to furthering anti-bias work for all.

Every 28 Hours Play Reading Workshop
“Every 28 Hour Plays was conceived by Claudia Alick in the wake of Michael Brown's murder and a 2012 study which found that in America, every 28 hours a black person is killed by a vigilante, security gaurd or police officer.
The 28 Hour Plays workshop is a series of short plays written by playwrights from across the country in response to this study. They are meant to be read by a group of people to spark dialogue and shifts in perspective. The Journey Theatre Project will facilitate the readings and conversation, we hope you will join as Actor Participants or Audience Participants.”
Aug 2nd @ 6:00 PM EST
